Short Names and Direct and Prime Sponsor Codes for U.S. Federal Entities in eRPM
Research administrators (RAs) may be required to select a sponsor code for a direct and/or prime sponsor if the sponsor is a U.S. Federal Government entity ("federal entity" or "entity"). Each federal entity in eRPM has two sponsor codes, depending upon whether the entity is the Direct sponsor or the Prime sponsor (indicated by "Subcontracts" or "SubK").
The RA selects the sponsor code and routes the PAF to ORSP. ORSP staff will validate the selection. RAs should avoid checking "not found" or requesting a new sponsor code. Important: All National Institutes of Health (NIH) projects use either 895700 when direct sponsor, or 895800 when prime sponsor, this includes the NIH member institutes (e.g., National Cancer Institute or National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases).

If the RA selected an incorrect sponsor code AND the correct code triggers additional submission requirements in eRPM, ORSP will return the PAF to the RA for required changes (i.e., system recalculates the ORSP Review Type based on the Deadline Policy guidelines). Otherwise, ORSP will simply correct the sponsor code.
Search Hints for eRPM
Use the wild card (%) and the acronym for the federal entity for a quick search return.
The list of federal entities in eRPM rarely changes. Try to find the code first, but know that if you cannot, you may manually enter a sponsor name.
